Mui Ne makes it into the top 5 unique destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to this online booking website, the majestic sand dunes and hot, dry air of Mui Ne might lead many to mistake it for a pristine desert region in Egypt. However, Mui Ne is actually a coastal fishing village located in the South Central region of Vietnam.

"Scattered around the town are the famous red and white sand dunes, Fairy Stream, and the ancient Po Sah Inu Cham Tower, resembling the great Giza Pyramids. Additionally, at some resorts in Mui Ne, the decor with its two main colors, white and light blue, reminds many people of the villages on the Greek island of Santorini," Booking.com noted.

Besides Mui Ne, the other four destinations included in this list are:

Ella (Sri Lanka)

Nestled amidst rolling tea hills and vast cloud forests, this tranquil town offers a landscape reminiscent of Germany's Black Forest. It is famous for its historic Nine Arch railway bridge and the majestic Ravana waterfall.

Jozankei (Japan)

This largest hot spring town in Hokkaido boasts a unique winter landscape with brown-tinged hills, cascading white waterfalls, and the Sapporo Kokusai ski resort.

Krabi (Thailand)

Famous for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and towering palm trees, Krabi offers an experience that rivals the beaches of Hawaii. Visitors can participate in many exciting activities such as snorkeling to admire coral reefs and kayaking to explore caves.

Don Det (Laos)

As one of the "four thousand islands" along the Mekong River, Don Det is considered a "miniature Madagascar" with its diverse and pristine ecosystem. It is an ideal destination for travelers who love exploring nature.

The fact that Mui Ne has been recognized by Booking.com is a testament to Vietnam's tourism potential. With its unique landscapes and world-class experiences, Mui Ne promises to attract even more international tourists in the future.
